Waldorf Art in our Homeschool

How we brought the Waldorf method of art, in both sequence and materials, into our home learning environment.

A couple of days ago, my husband was flipping through channels, trying desperately to find a football game {we don’t have cable}, and we came upon the PBS station.  Just a man with his easel and paint and brushes.  He was painting a boat in a lightning storm.  And we all just stopped and watched…
